New study seeks to understand ‘post-sex blues’

Women are invited to take part in a QUT study that is trying to understand why some people experience 'post-sex blues'.

The research continues on from a study published in the International Journal of Sexual Health which found one in three (32.9 per cent) of more than 200 young women surveyed had experienced the phenomenon at some point in their lives.

And nearly 10 per cent of the women surveyed reported experiencing symptoms such as distress some of the time following consensual sex.
